GET TO KNOW THE DIVERSITY OF THE UK
Make sure to take a deep breath before you hop on the world-famous London Eye. This Ferris wheel is the tallest worldwide and offers you a breath-taking view over UK’s capital both day and night. Moreover, the British metropolis is known for its classical landmarks such as the Buckingham Palace and Tower Bridge. London certainly provides various possibilities for everybody – ultimately, about 9 million residents cannot be wrong.
Have you ever heard about Brummies? That is how the locals in Birmingham, UK’s second-largest city with 1.1 million residents, are called. The town used to have a moody, industrial flair but was remarkably embellished over the past years. Tourists love Birmingham for its amazing shopping opportunities and legendary musical roots: Here popular bands such as Black Sabbath and Duran Duran have paved their way to success.
